Chapter 1280: Godhead
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The discussion in the sky had nothing to do with Abel. Instead, he transferred the godhead that was exploded from the God of War into Doff.
The godhead was a physical object, but it entered the soul in a mysterious way.
Doff was already a god, but there was no way it could possess another godhead with already 100,000 Barbarians on his side, at least on paper.
This was a world ruled by wizards. There was no way they would let such a powerful god exist.
The demon from beyond was a god with the most followers in this world, but since it was in deep slumber, most of its faith was sustaining the guardian wings instead of being absorbed.
The second was the goddess of the moon. Even though there were not many elves, and she had to supply the wizard union with Holy Crystals, she still served her place.
Those gods with fewer followers were not in the picture. Therefore, having 2 godheads was almost a fantasy in this day and age.
Abel got a feeling that if he didn’t take out this godhead before the holy figure was formed, Doff might not be able to take in all of its energy.
When Doff became a true god, he would truly become a symbol to its followers and further blurring the line between it and the original god of war.
Maybe in the not too distant future, all Barbarians would detach themselves from the old god of war, and by that point, Doff might no longer be able to absorb the godhead.
Abel also knew he was only safe because of the protection from the dragons.
The demon from beyond would reawaken in 100 years, and even though his angel body was powerful, he was not confident enough that it could win against another angel who lived for countless years. As for his other summons, they were basically useless in a battle of that scale.
Even his newest summon, Half God no.1, was the case.
He was running out of time. He needed to become a god rank blue dragon and a god rank wizard.
But even with the Dark World as support, he was not confident that he could achieve this in under 100 years.
Also, looking at how careful the Wizard Union was towards the Holy Kingdom, a single god rank wizard might not be able to take down the Demon from Beyond.
If it could, why was the Holy Kingdom still standing?
Therefore, he needed support, and Doff was that support. It could perfectly work with his Angel body to fight.
Every bit of power up for Doff had an effect on Abel’s safety.
There was no major reaction when the second godhead entered Doff’s soul, and the countless faith around it also entered smoothly.
There was a fragile soul seed in the god of war’s godhead. Initially, it was starting to gain its life as more faith rushed in but then it was swamped and attacked by the marking in Doff’s soul.
All of this happened automatically, and Abel couldn’t do anything about it.
After all, a soul could not have 2 consciousness, so only one could survive.
On one side was the soul of a new god. On the other was the remaining bit of soul from a god who was locked up for centuries with minimal faith, which even had his holy body destroyed.
There was no competition, especially considering Doff’s soul had been strengthened by the soul potions.
It was in its prime as it swamped the fragile soul of the god of war.
After all, If Abel never retrieved the god of war’s godhead, there were only 2 ways its soul could go. One was to slowly rebuild its body with faith. The other was falling into eternal slumber in the dimension of the godhead, which was no different from death anyway.
As Doff’s marking helped lash forward, the god of war’s soul seed finally erupted in a roar.
Not one of fury, but one of sorrow.
This soul signified the fall of a mighty being. Although Abel did not have many thoughts about the god of war, he could never forget how stunned he was when he first saw its body below the wizard union.
Even chained up, Abel could sense a mountainous amount of energy coming from within.
How could he ever expect a soul like that to end in his hands?
As the roar faded, the godhead was fully absorbed into Doff’s soul.
The 2 godheads levitated from within, and Abel could see 3 abilities sparking within the first godhead ‘strength,’ ‘battle instinct,’ and ‘teleportation.’
As faith kept rushing in, the sparkles began to settle. Soon, all the faith from the first holy crystal would be used up, which was why he was closely monitoring Doff’s soul.
He gently waved his hand, and another Holy crystal flew out.
With an ignition, golden faith rushed in the first godhead, and the abilities within it began to sparkle again.
Suddenly, those abilities broke away from the godhead, and Abel felt his heart drop.
But soon, Abel noticed there were still faint markings of those abilities in the first godhead. What happened was actually a process of replication.
Those abilities then flew towards the second godhead and settled. At the same time, another faint marking of an ability emerged from it.
Although the 100,000 Barbarians provided a decent amount of faith, it was still not enough for this deflated godhead to reflect its full potential.
Abel took out another Holy Crystal for the second godhead, and the marking slowly became more defined and finally detached and traveled towards the first godhead.
With only one new ability, Abel was disappointed. How could the mighty god of war only have one ability?
Little did he know that blast had drained most of the power from the god of war’s godhead. Even one ability was already very impressive.
“Blue dragon Abel has already used up 12 holy crystals?” God rank wizard Smith asked half god Wizard Brennan. It was a reality that Doff was a god, but he was just curious that Abel had so many holy crystals.
“Yeah, forming a holy body needs 10 holy crystals and he just took out 2 more!” Wizard Brennan replied.
“Eugene, you dragons have taken out 12 holy crystals for Blue Dragon Abel?” Wizard Smith then turned to Headmaster Eugene and said.
“Smith, we did not give blue dragon Abel a single holy crystal. In fact, he did not even ask!” Headmaster Eugene shook his head.
“Weird, where else could he have gotten so many?” Wizard Smith mumbled.
Holy crystals were top-level resources. Although the wizard union has given them out to legends, no legends would be able to accumulate 12 of them for thousands of years, considering how useful they were.
Not only was Wizard Smith curious, but the god dragon headmaster and Wizard Brennan were also as well.
“Did he get it from another god?” Wizard Brennan suddenly asked
Abel was a Grandmaster Alchemist, so Wizard Smith and Headmaster Eugene knew what god he was talking about.
But Wizard Brennan must have his reasons to not say the name, so Wizard Smith held back his curiosity.
“No way, I don’t think she has that many on hand to give to blue dragon Abel!” The god dragon headmaster shook his head again.
They were talking about the elves’ goddess of the moon. Considering their population and their faithfulness, there was no way the goddess of the moon could accumulate that many holy crystals.
Not to mention, she needed to supply them to the wizard union to allow her to keep her followers.
Therefore using up her only crystals was the best way to supply too much to the Wizard union.
“Maybe Blue Dragon Abel has been accumulating for a very long time!” Wizard Brennan gave out another guess.
It was the only explanation. Which was not impossible considering Abel’s status.
He could have been exchanging with legends through potions, but it was still unbelievable considering Abel’s age.
